Gōda (剛田) is a character who appears in the original Hokuto no Ken one-shot manga published before the serialized version.

A tall bearded mohawked punk, Gōda is a B-class Taizanji Kenpō warrior who uses his Yūsō Ryōdan Ken (熊爪両断拳, "Bear Claw Bisection Fist") technique to rip people in half and has spikes hidden under his mohawk. He murders three people in an apartment building, including Kenshiro Kasumi's girlfriend Yuki, and then frames Kenshiro for their deaths. He was actually working for the Chief of the Kibō Police Department, who helped cover up Gōda's crimes. After Kenshiro escapes from prison, he challenges Gōda and kills him with the Twin Dragon Wave. Although Gōda never actually appears in the serialized manga, the character Uighur, also a Taizan master, was modeled after him.

Gōda appears in episode 33 of the anime series (voiced by Masaharu Sato), where he was re-envisioned as a minion of Amiba who was given the strength of a bear. Despite the change in context, the battle between him and Kenshiro is identical to the one in the original yomikiri story.

Notes

Zangief may have been based on him.
